The only combination I found that worked was rinsing with salt water and loading up on echinacea (3 capsules - 3 times a day). The echinacea is a natural antibiotic and helps kill off infection.
Usually when I felt the first twinge of a toothache comin' on, I'd start loadin' up on the echinacea for a day or two - and it'd prevent a full-blown infection/toothache.
But do see a dentist. If you let infection go on too long, it gets in to your bloodstream and knocks hell outta your whole body. Been there/done that
